What zombies?

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2003)

This movie is little more than an MTV-generation reworking of all of George Romero's "dead" movies with a nod to one or two others in the genre. Could have been much better if not for the annoying logical leaps that others have so ably documented here and the utterly ordinary ending. Overall, let's just say, "Nice try" and leave it at that.
But, lordy, lordy, this is not a ZOMBIE movie, if by zombie one means a re-animated corpse (whether or not under the will of another person). The "zombies" in this film didn't die and come back to life. When killed, (and they can be killed, in very mundane, non-specific ways) they don't reanimate. And if a person dies in an uninfected state, apparently the person stays dead. These creatures are "enraged" (but apparently not at EACH OTHER, only at those who have not yet been infected). Though they are able to behave in a non-enraged way as well, as did those playing possum in a church full of corpses.
So, call them what you will -- infected, sick, contagion, enraged -- but please, not zombies.
